Volume 6: Mecha Contest Chapter 302: Women's Intuition
…
While everyone was discussing the future development of the hunting group, they were also sweeping away the food on the table at a whirlwind... In less than an hour, the dozens of plates that were originally full on the table were all empty. Even Qin Zhao, who had no appetite at first, finally ate a lot under the influence of others.
"That's it for now, burp..." The hound was talking when he suddenly burped. He rubbed his bulging belly and said to Ke Lan, "I will sort out these things into a detailed . Many details still need to be improved... This workload is not small. You must treat me to a meal next time."
"If you need any help, you can send me an email," Zofia said. "I have a group of professionals who are good at handling these matters. They are experienced and have been through various tests. There will be no problem with their loyalty."
When she said the last sentence, Zofia deliberately emphasized her tone - it was obvious that the incident with Arasaka Yui still bothered her.
"Okay, I will definitely come to trouble Miss Soma when the time comes." The Hound replied with a smile. He also knew that professionals were much more efficient than laymen like them in handling such matters. Moreover, only professionals could properly handle some seemingly insignificant details that could easily cause hidden dangers in the future.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Hound, Asano Akio and Zhuoligetu decided to return to their previous safe house to stay temporarily. Tomorrow, they would go to several development zones that were looking for rentals to find an office building that could be used as the headquarters for the hunting group.
Layton was going back to his workshop to tinker with the equipment and parts he had just bought. According to him, after this exploration, a new inspiration popped up in his head and he was eager to verify it; as for Ivan and Natasha, there were still a lot of things waiting for them to solve at the clinic.
Qin Zhao is still an intern hunter of the Polaris Hunting Group. He must return to the Polaris Hunting Group’s dormitory to register before 10 o’clock in the evening, otherwise he will be counted as absent from the practical training class. According to the Hound, before they officially take action against the Polaris Hunting Group, it is best not to provoke them so as not to alert the enemy.
The task of escorting Sofia back to her residence naturally fell on Ke Lan.
…
This was not the first time he had been to Sofia's residence, but because of the last attack, the roads in this residential area had undergone large-scale reconstruction, forcing Ke Lan to follow the built-in navigation software in the car and grope his way on the unfamiliar roads bit by bit.
Fortunately, Zofia didn't care. She leaned back on the soft leather chair, staring intently at the tablet in her hand.
"By the way, do you have suitable clothes for the cocktail party?" Sofia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned her head and asked Ke Lan.
Ke Lan held the steering wheel with both hands, staring at the windshield in front of him, and shook his head slightly. Apart from the equipment he wore when he went out on missions, the rest of his clothes were casual wear designed for comfort . As for formal clothes for attending important occasions, he really didn't have a single set.
"Pull over and stop the car ." Sofia ordered immediately.
"Ah?" Ke Lan was a little confused. Could it be that the young lady was planning to buy herself a new outfit? But there was no clothing store nearby.
Although he was confused, Ke Lan still parked the car on the side of the road.
As soon as the car stopped, Sofia leaned over from the passenger seat. She wrapped her arms around Ke Lan's waist, her head and upper body pressed tightly against Ke Lan's chest, and her hands were groping Ke Lan's body up and down.
At this moment, Ke Lan was completely stunned. He could clearly feel the curves of this body, the indescribable softness and elasticity, and the sweet fragrance that kept entering his nose...
As long as he is a normal man, it is impossible not to have some special reactions...
Ke Lan subconsciously wanted to push Sofia away, but Sofia directly pressed his arm with her body.
"Don't move." The other party said softly.
"Uh...what...what are you going to do? We're in the car...and it's parked on the side of the road..." Ke Lan was shocked to find that Sofia's palm had been pressed against the inside of her thigh without her knowing when.
What was she planning to do? Maybe I should just push her away?
If this continues, I'm afraid things will develop in a direction that is out of control...
Ke Lan tried hard to think of a way to escape, but in this position, no matter which method he used, he would inevitably hurt Sofia who was hugging him tightly.
What made Ke Lan feel most embarrassed was that, in his subconscious, he did not resist the other party's action, and even hoped that the other party could go a step further...
Although he was a virgin, it didn't mean that he knew nothing. Compared with the old era, the physiology classes in the compulsory education stage in the Ark were quite complete, and students were even given completely real teaching videos to watch...
Just when Ke Lan felt that he was about to reach the limit of his patience, Sofia finally let him go and sat back in the passenger seat.
"Okay, I know your size. It won't take too long to make a suit for you... By the way, do you like a collarless or lapel vest? Do you want a tie or a bow tie?"
????? ????? ???
"...This...just help me decide..." Ke Lan still maintained the posture he held when he parked the car. Except for one certain part of his body, his entire body did not move at all. It was not until Sofia asked him that he came to his senses.
"Damn... She was actually helping me measure the size of my clothes..." Ke Lan thought to herself, it was a close call. Fortunately, she didn't do anything out of line just now, otherwise she would really not be able to explain herself clearly.
"Well... a double-breasted vest with a peaked collar is too formal. Let's choose a single-breasted vest with a notch collar. Also, I plan to wear a dark purple dress and give you a tie of the same color. Do you mind?"
"I don't mind." Ke Lan said, "Anyway, you are the eye-catching red flower, and I am the green leaf used as a foil. You can pair me however you want."
"I don't intend to attract attention at the party." Zofia rolled her eyes at Ke Lan in a somewhat reproachful manner, "Aren't you worried that I'll attract a bunch of love rivals for you?"
Ke Lan originally wanted to say that she was not worried, but then she changed her mind and thought that if she said that, her emotional intelligence would be too low and it would inevitably make Sofia angry again.
...Besides, if he said he had no feelings for Zofia at all, he would definitely be lying.
Even in this era when gene modification surgery has been popularized to the common people and medical cosmetic technology is extremely advanced, Zofia's appearance and figure are extremely outstanding among her peers. In addition, her personality, ability and behavior are almost impeccable. In Lao Gou's words, she is "the perfect candidate for marriage" - but the main problem lies not with Zofia, but with Ke Lan herself.
It's not that Ke Lan has too low self-esteem, but he knows very well that for someone like Zofia, the most important thing in marriage is to be "equally matched". Stories like a prince falling in love with Cinderella or a rich daughter falling in love with a poor boy are only plots in fairy tales and romance novels... As for real life, Ke Lan never believes in pie in the sky.
"Actually, I'm very curious, why did you choose me?" Ke Lan hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.
"Do you think I should choose a young master who is also from a wealthy family?" Zofia glanced at him, stretched out her hand to lift the hair that fell to her ears, and continued, "I told you that I chose you because I think you have great potential that those people don't have... I think your future achievements will not be lower than those heirs of famous families, but there is one thing, you are the same as them and me, you don't have the shackles of the family behind you."
"I think you are gambling. In a high-risk industry like mine, you may not be able to come back from a mission. By then, all your bets will be wasted, right?" Ke Lan replied.
"Don't forget, our first encounter was a huge gamble, and that gamble even included my life."
"Where do you get the confidence from... Do you think you can win the bet?" Ke Lan couldn't help but mutter.
"Women's intuition." Zofia suddenly laughed, just like she said to Ke Lan in the captain's room, "Fortunately, I won the bet."
“…”
"So... please don't die out there. I'm still waiting for you to marry me."
"I'll try my best, but can you please not mention this kind of thing next time? In my impression, almost no one who said 'I'm going back to my hometown to get married after XX is over' can survive."
"Okay, then I won't tell you." Sofia said, "I'll lend you this car first. Remember to pick me up tomorrow evening."
